I like to build. Whether it is websites, or backyards. I like to create things in my mind and then build it with my hands. At the end of the work day, I like to be able to look at what I have accomplished. Sometimes while reviewing what I did, I realize that I could have done it better, and that often results in me doing it over (I am a perfectionist at heart, and if I think of a better way, I just have to do it that way).
As I have matured, I find myself taking more time, contemplating what I will do, and going over each step that I need to do it, before I start. Although this may seem like a lot of extra work, I find I accomplish more, because I redo things less, and I have often planned how to very efficiently do what needs to be done. While I am good at envisioning how a project will look completed, taking the time to walk through the steps to complete it, usually reveals different methods to reach the desired result. This allows me to pick the best, getting the task done the best I can do it.
Building Joomla CMS based websites is no different. Knowing what tools to use, and thinking about the best way to integrate them into a site, to produce the desired finished look and operation should be preplanned. Reviewing what and how extensions that are selected for the project integrate and operate, or how they can be tweaked to produce the desired output is critical to producing a quality site.
Although this post doesn't follow my traditional ones on the quest to become ranked #1 in the phrase the “best web designer in Canada” it is the introduction to the future. I will begin discussing more on my philosophies of creating the best websites using Joomla CMS in future posts. Having worked with it since 2007, and seen what many designers and users do to software, I have decided to share my knowledge on my quest to be the best web designer in Canada.
